Why do we grieve so after the loss of a pet?
The grief associated with the loss of a beloved pet may be as much or more than that associated with the loss of a human loved one. We know this because we hear it from clients and we experience it ourselves. Who else gives us unconditional love when we have a bad hair day or we are in a bad mood? These loving companions and family members bring sunshine to our days, and often sleep with us at night.
The Cat Care Clinic team strives to always understand and respect the bond you share with your cat, and to be there throughout your kitty’s lifetime and beyond. We often hear from clients that their friends and family don’t understand; they think it’s “just a cat” (dog, or other pet), and that they should just go out and get another one. Clients also tell us that sometimes we are the only ones they can talk with about this huge loss in their lives. Please let us know how we can help, and please let your friends in need know about our pet loss section.
